About This Dataset
Countries by Electric Vehicle New Car Market Share 2024
This chart compares the share of new car sales that were electric in eight selected countries in 2024. Electric means fully battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) plus plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Conventional hybrids without a charging plug are excluded.
The figures are the 2024 observations in Our World in Data’s table sourced from the IEA’s Global EV Outlook 2026. The report edition is 2026; the observation year shown here is 2024. Values are percentages, retained at the source’s rounded precision.
Each percentage uses all new cars sold in that country as its denominator. This is not the share of all cars already on the road, and it is not a comparison of sales volumes.
The chart covers the eight countries originally selected for this page, not the complete global ranking. Historical estimates can be revised between IEA editions. Comparisons with national registration tables may also differ because of coverage and rounding; use the same definition and source edition when comparing countries.

Analysis
Norway leads this selection at 92%, followed by Sweden at 58% and Denmark at 56%. Norway’s lead over Sweden is 34 percentage points. Finland is at 50%, while China and the Netherlands are tied at 48%. Iceland records 43% and Germany 20%. Four of the eight countries have electric shares of at least 50%. These shares include plug-in hybrids, so they should not be presented as battery-electric-only adoption. The Norway–Germany difference is 72 percentage points.
